Two teams expected to contend for the Super Bowl this season but scuffling through the first seven weeks meet to open Week 8 of the NFL season when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
The Ravens are 1½-point favorites on the early betting line, with the host Bucs hoping to avoid falling to 3-5 after opening as the second-shortest Super Bowl favorite behind the Buffalo Bills. The Bucs are coming off a loss to the lowly Carolina Panthers, who won 21-3 as massive 13-point underdogs.
Elsewhere around NFL Week 8, there are three double-digit favorites: The Dallas Cowboys (-10) against the Chicago Bears, the Philadelphia Eagles (-11) against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Bills (-10½) against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.
There is only one game between teams that both have winning records: The 6-1 New York Giants visit the 4-3 Seattle Seahawks, with the host Seahawks favored by 3 points.
The week ends with a Halloween special between the NFL’s Ohio teams, with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals favored by 3 over the host Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football.
